Vinny T's of Boston celebrates great homemade Italian food with family and friends. But food is only part of the whole Vinny T's experience. Vinny T's of Boston is inspired by the neighborhood Italian restaurants found in Boston's North End, Manhattan's Little Italy and South Philly circa 1945. From the music to the black and white checkered tablecloths, guests cannot help but appreciate the restaurant's old-style ambience. Welcoming guests with open arms and attentive service, Vinny T's serves the comforting Italian specialties and favorites many have come to love. Enjoy robust food, including traditional items like homemade lasagna, veal marsala, and mussels fra diavolo, as well as signature items such as chicken carciofi, linguini frutti di mare, and penne alla vodka. Antipasti possibilities include golden fried calamari, homemade baked clams oreganata and bruschetta caprese.

Editorial Description by Citysearch
The Scene
So long as there are families in search of kid-approved Italian fare served family-style, Vinny T's will remain profitable. Few patrons look up from their troughs of pasta to notice the faux-Italian decor (checkered tablecloths, pictures of Italian-Americans icons like Frank Sinatra). Solo diners, a rare sight because of the portion sizes, flock to the hospitable bar area where there's always a game on the TV. Pleasant servers try to maintain straight faces when delivering laughably large pasta platters.

The Food
As one might expect, the restaurant sacrifices quality in favor of quantity--expect too much pasta, not enough meat. Most items are available in two misleadingly titled sizes: "per uno" (enough for two people) and "per due" (enough for four). While decent steaks and chops are offered, most everyone wisely sticks with pasta dishes like lemony chicken piccata and rich lasagna. Desserts (try the creamy, reasonably authentic spumoni) are equally humongous.

Vinny T's  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Kel B.

Grilled Calamari is the best, not on the menu but they are happy to prepare for you if you just ask. Great spot to sit at the bar, hang out and eat/drink. Staff all very accomodating as well.

Historically Great Food but are they slipping?  4 Star Rating - Very good

By John D. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,382

I attended a corporate event at this restaurant recently. Normally very good food and service. I was left a bit disappointed with both the food and service. Since it was my only bad experience with a Vinny Ts, I would still rate them very good. If you are travelling to the Boston area, it is worth a stop.

can't go wrong at Vinny's 4 Star Rating - Very good

By goodfoodguy

Most regulars who go to Vinny's probably eat there because it is easy Italian close to home. I have enjoyed everything that I have tried on the menu right down to the dessert. The wine list is also good. Overall I would recommend Vinny T's. It isn't the best Italian restaurant, but you should enjoy it.
